According to Fashion Trendsetter, checks are going to be the hottest look this spring and summer. It’s not all flannel cowboy shirts and recreations of early ’90’s grunge though as this season’s styles for women look very femine and vary from great girl-next-door blouses and light patterns on sheer fabrics to Dukes of Hazard inspired swimwear.  For both men and women there’s great funky new takes on the stripes we’ve all been wearing for a couple of years now. It seems even the check-pattern trouser is back.

Personally, we reckon there’s some really great-looking stuff out there and for a smart-casual look you simply can’t go wrong with an updated take on the check shirt paired with jeans.
